A talk by Carin Berkowtiz

Carin Berkowitz is director of the Beckman Center for the History of Chemistry. She is broadly interested in the intersections of science and medicine in the late Enlightenment and early 19th century and in the place of pedagogy in medical science. Berkowitz received a B.A. from Johns Hopkins University in 2001 and a Ph.D. in science and technology studies from Cornell University in 2010. Her dissertation is titled “Medical Science as Pedagogy in Early Nineteenth-Century Britain: Charles Bell and the Politics of London Medical Reform.”

About Brown Bag Lectures

Brown Bag Lectures (BBLs) are a series of weekly informal talks on the history of chemistry or related subjects, including the history and social studies of science, technology, and medicine. Based on original research (sometimes still in progress), these talks are given by local scholars for an audience of CHF staff and fellows and interested members of the public.
